It's like I never had time to look away.
Bodies stuck between death and decay,
are plastic and set up on display.
And their eyes are wide and they are looking my way.
Each ligament exposed, each muscle connected.
And every organ that I proudly neglected.
have been arranged for the common collective.
Stomaching the sight of something dead resurrected.
It seems we're fearfully made and designed.
But it's a shame we can be so blind.
We're all the same,
made of hair and bones and water and blood cells.
We're all to blame,
for spending way too much time on ourselves.
I have been blessed and now I'm blind.
The veil’s been pulled over my eyes.
Now every bad season that kept me believing seems so contrived.
There's more glory to be seen
and savored through suffering
than ever was through self-serving escape.
Ashes to ashes
And dust to dust

(Needless to say, I sang the line in the book rather than simply reading it...)
What I want to know is why you, skaterpunkrocker, are so bent on proving that The Classic Crime is not a Christian band? It's quite obvious in a lot of their songs that they are Christians and they show it in their lyrics quite obviously. :)
Straight from the Bible:
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
Psalm 139:14
This song represents how much we build our selves up, but without Jesus in our lives, we will crash.
For example, "We're all to blame,
for spending way too much time on ourselves."
People spend way to much time on ourselves, that we forget to go to church, or call our friends, or spend time with family. We need to spend less time on ourselves, because we are temporary. But our life with God is eternal.
I dont know if this is correct or not. im going with my thoughts. but this song is very deep and has meaning after meaning. Awesome song.
About us being created and how evolution is crap*
